Clinical diagnosis and treatment of severe hydronephrosis induced vagus reflex by percutaneous renal puncture decompression / 中华泌尿外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Vagus nerve reflex is a rare complication of percutaneous renal decompression. It is often induced by excessively rapid decompression of severe hydronephrosis and traction of the main nerves innervating the kidney. The clinical manifestations are irritability, sweating, clammy skin, hiccups, slow heart rate. It is easy to misdiagnose. In this study, 4 patients with vagus nerve excitement after percutaneous renal decompression were treated. After monitoring the patient’s vital signs and giving treatment such as expanding blood volume and raising blood pressure, the symptoms gradually disappeared.
